| Well-Tempered Golf Ball? Further in that same issue of TAS there is a full review (sorry, I didn't see it before I posted.) Apparently the arm is attached to the top of the ball - they don't specify the brand - and then the ball is floated in a cup of damping fluid. They ... | |
| Good News I am certain that they would only play Muzak in hell. | |
| Can you point me to CDs with awesome stage? Duke Ellington, Blues in Orbit. REALLY big stage. | |
| RIP..................Lux Interior Yeah, that would be a show: "R&R pioneers featuring: Elvis Presley AND the Cramps!" That would be the double bill to end double bills. | |
| Need a little help, New to Vinyl Maybe consider an integrated amp - even a cheap one, and just use it for the head phones. Then if you do eventually get speakers you've already got something to drive them. | |
| Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR Play it where it sounds the best. | |
| Willie Dixon - I Am the Blues. I got mine on E-bay and there were about twenty to choose from. | |

| Opinions on the new Ron McMaster BN reissues? Oh, c'mon! An opportunity to opine on vinyl quality and no one's biting? I can't believe it. | |
| Willie Dixon - I Am the Blues. Well, at least he's the real fellow and not a third-generation pretender coming out of a music conservatory or something. Chas - you are ornery today! | |
| Another LP Crushes the CD now ladies... please.... | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot We're re-colonizing ourselves with a watered down version of our own cultural history. | |
| Another LP Crushes the CD Hmm. I think I'm missing something here. In any event - Its a great sounding record! Including the Wynton penned 'Water Falls' which is growing on me. | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot Chasmal makes a good point. Robert Cray, Keb Mo and other contemporaries are just rehashing stuff the originals did forty, fifty, sixty plus years ago. Jazz has the same problem. After you've listened to Miles Davis, Bird and Trane everyone else i... |
